PORTFOLIO, WHAT!

IT IS FINALLY DONE!!!!!! THIS MORNING AT ROUGHLY ONE A.M. I FINALLY COMPLETED MY EXIT PORTFOLIO FROM TEACHERS COLLEGE!!!

And yes, I am aware it is no longer called Teachers College, and instead now the College of Education and Human Sciences. However, when I was accepted it was still TC, so for TC it shall always be. The portfolio is roughly 200 pages and spans everything I have done in my methods courses, practicums, and now student teaching over the last two and a half years. I am kind of lost now, because I literally have nothing to do for the rest of the semester. It is strange, but I am so giddy. I know I bitched a lot about UNL, but I will miss it, I do miss not going to regular classes and spending time on campus, because it really is a beautiful one. However, I am ready to move on to the next phase of my life. I just don't know what is all involved in that phase yet. That's half the excitement right there.

My graduation party is going to be on Saturday following graduation, but I will let people know in person and not just through my blog.

I think it's pretty lame when people can't go to sleep in their own apartments on week nights. Apparently courtesy doesn't exist in some places anymore. Bummer.

I got to spend a few hours with Britt yesterday, something we have not been able to do in a long time. I have not laughed so hard in ages and I missed her a lot. We went to the Huskers basketball game against UAB, and unfortunately lost by one in the very last second, and now we are 5-1. It was a really good game though, but very weird not seeing Jake Muhleisen, John Turek, and Corey Simms, although we did see Simms walking around on the concourse so that was sweet. Then we did some errands and had an adventure at Wal-Mart, something that has also not happened for a very long time. I am excited to graduate if only for the fact that I will finally get to see my friends again! I miss them a lot, and I don't feel like myself without them.

Days until graduation: 12

Days left at Belmont: 9

Days left in shithole apartment: too many

Drinks Teetz is going to buy me when we go out to celebrate my graduation: a bazillion

Also, I did not get "Friends: The One With All Ten Seasons." Fearnot, however, because I did not have to actually buy it myself. This is how the convrsation with Mom went a couple nights ago.

Me: Mom, is there a remote remote possibility that I might be getting Friends, because if not I worked a lot of over time and got backpay from a couple months ago and would like to buy it.

Mom: (long pause) Damnit, Sarah. You're going to know everything you're getting for Christmas

Me: (loud squealing) Mom! Thankyou!Thankyou!Thankyou!Thankyou!Thankyou! But you didn't have to tell me, I just asked about a remote possiblity.

Mom: (long pause) There is a remote possibility you are getting this for Christmas.

The rest of the conversation was spent with me rattling off the best places and prices for her to get it at. I have the best momma in the world. I even said it was absolutely all I wanted, and since graduation, Christmas and my birthday were all so close together, it coukd just be one huge gift for all three. I know she won't do it like that and she will get me something for each, but she definitely doesn't have to. My mom kicks so much ass, it's not even funny.
